You can put this solution on YOUR website! I hope he's cruising on Crystal or Princess!
July's cost = $1200
December's cost = 25% more? less?
If December's cost is less, then:
1200 = 1.25x
Divide each side by 1.25 to get $960
.
If December's cost is more, then:
1200 = .75x
Divide each side by .75 to get $1600
